Techniques for Mind-Body Integration:

Somatic Therapy Training

Enlightened roadFor therapists, energy workers, bodyworkers, yoga teachers, and those on the path of their own healing.

Chakras are organizational centers for the reception, assimilation, and expression of life force energy. Body-based (somatic) therapies address the issues in our tissues by working with the energetic core of each chakra.

This 5-day training for healers of all stripes gives you a basic foundation in Somatic Therapy through the dynamics of Bioenergetics, Core Energetics, Somatic Experiencing, Formative Psychology, and Anodea Judith’s signature Chakra Therapy. Learn to unlock the defensive patterns hidden beneath consciousness and free up the vital core energy within.

Topics addressed include:

  • Working with “charge,” the body’s basic life force
  • The formation and dissolution of body armor
  • Chakras and childhood development
  • Chakra diagnostics and body reading
  • Chakras and Character Structure
  • Working with trauma and PTSD
  • Decoding the language of illness.
